Massimo Lagrotteriacontemporary painter
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Massimo Lagrotteria was born in Lucerna, Switzerland, in 1972.
He studied by himself and today he is living and working in Carpi, near Modena.
ARTIST AND HIS WORK
He is a self-taught artist endowed with a strong technical and intuitive capability, Massimo Lagrotteria arrived on a realistic figurative painting, distinguishing the originality of his style.
Much of his work revolves around two hubs: urban views, often in a dizzying perspective flight, and human figures, in which the fixity of looks highlights an ancient romanticism.
TECHNIQUE
His artwork spoke the language of contemporaneity but with a strong classic origin. The technique itself is a study and a fascinating work which supports preparation, where poor materials like paper mixed with cloth, jute and etched iron enhance, emphasizing prospective cuts and strokes of lights, his exclusive oil painting.
The result is an original stratified surface granting the representation of his subjects.
